Celebrating Tracy's Birthday

The other day I belatedly celebrated my friend Tracy's birthday. We started out by going to one of her favorite stores, "Through the Garden Gate", located in La Habra.

 Everything in the store was beautifully decorated with Christmas items.

I learned that an upside down Christmas tree was a tradition in the Victorian era as well as some Eastern European countries.

We then went to Uptown Whittier for lunch at Seta`.

 
 

 A toast to Tracy. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!

 We both ordered a yummy Paella dish.

 Time for Tracy to make a wish!

 and just for good measure we had to have a piece of limoncello cake with strawberries!

               "Happy Birthday dear friend!"
